Hi Johnny,
I get a little confused when people start throwing around terms like "Bonnet", but I think that you are talking about lining the engine compartment.....I started with a 4'x12' sheet of 2024 T3 .025 Alclad from Aircraft Spruce and Specialty, cost was $158 delivered. I made templates from brown wrapping paper and then cut out the aluminum. I did all of the bending over the edge of a formica covered table. A sheet metal bending break would have been better, but you gotta use what you got. About 1000 pop rivets later I was done. The only change I would make is to use thinner or softer aluminum next time, maybe .015 or .020.
Good Luck!
